The temperamental paceman incurred the individual fine after pleading guilty to a charge that related to “abuse of cricket equipment or clothing, ground equipment or fixtures and fittings”, the ICC said in a statement.

“As Sreesanth accepted the decision without contest, there was no need for a hearing.”

A frustrated Sreesanth kicked the rope on Wednesday after he had two lbw appeals turned down in the previous over, an incident he went on to regret.
